Had a question on parking – there is a fair amount of 2hr parking (unmetered)
in the streets around the office. In particular the south-side of Elizabeth St
in Shelley Street and Garfield Street (which is about a 2 or 3 minute walk to
the office). If public transport is your thing – the 109 tram down Victoria
St or North Richmond station are both within 100 meters of the building.
Thanks

Hi All,
Just confirming that next meeting is going to be at the “swish-o” board room at
Mercy Health in Richmond (18th May from 3:30pm). I’m all for one-upmanship –
so I’ll be trying to out-do William’s Monte Carlo biscuits – so if the QlikView
presentation is not enough to entice you to attend – perhaps the prospect of
afternoon tea is?!?
The Address is Level 2, 12 Shelley Street in Richmond (just off Victoria St)

Let me know if I’ve left out any vital information or if there are any
questions.
Cheers

Hi all,
Thanks to Chris, Jenny, Nick, Peter, Rajesh, Rose, Sweta and Tracey for making
the trip over to Peter Mac on Friday afternoon.
It was good to hear where people were up to with ABF -- I always learn a bit
more each time I talk about it!
Thanks again to Chris and Peter for taking the time to talk to their work
plans. I'm glad to hear that VHIMS/Riskman is tricky from a reporting
perspective at other sites too.
It was good to hear a bit about QlikView from Peter & Jenny -- and Jenny has
kindly offered to demo their new reporting suites next month, hosted at the
Mercy on the 18th of May. Apparently they have a swish-o board room and can
even provide tea and coffee, so don't miss out!
A reminder of the upcoming calendar:
* 18th May - at the Mercy
* 15th June
* 20th July -- the post-ABF-stress-disorder group
* 17th August
* 21st September
* 19th October
* 16th November
* 21st December
From a CHADx perspective, it seems it's on the radar, but on the nice-to-have
list only, given the current focus on other funding reform and infrastructure
type issues. Peter says Ray from Austin has started on a SQL based one, and I'm
continuing to work on a standalone grouper that I can run in my daily batch. I
will keep you posted!
From a mailing list perspective, if receiving a copy of the emails you send is
undesirable, you can switch it off in the mailing list settings (Chris M - I've
done this for you). Browse to http://www.freelists.org/list/chai-t
<http://www.freelists.org/list/chai-t> , choose Log in directly to this list,
enter your email address and password, click the Change Settings button, then
uncheck ECHOPOST and click Update your account. If you don't have a password,
just leave the field blank when you log in, and it will email you a new one.
After reflecting on the discussion, I'm going to keep the archives searchable
for now - I think the benefits to list members and newcomers who can look
through the history of discussions outweighs the spam potential. As shown on
Friday, the email obfuscation applied by freelists also covers email addresses
in signatures (though not phone numbers), and I think this helps keep it
relatively benign. Feel free to contact me off-list if keeping searchable
archives makes you disinclined to participate.
Kind regards,
William Rose

Subject: [chai-t] Reminder: Meeting tomorrow 3:30pm - Peter Mac Seminar Room 1
Hi all,
A quick reminder that we are on for tomorrow at 3:30pm in EDU Seminar Room 1 at
Peter Mac. I have Monte Carlos (and more): please don't make me eat them all
myself.
Proposed Agenda
1. Welcome
2. ABF Update -- apparently a "whole bunch of stuff" was coming from IHPA,
NHPA, etc "at the end of March". This happened, but apparently it's only
released to State Government at present and we are not privy to the details.
I'd like to spend 5-10 minutes seeing if other stuff has come through or
whether there are special codewords to get you access to the doco.
3. Dashboards -- what's planned at the sites working actively on these,
and what advice do sites that have them wish they'd had.
Chris Macmanus is happy to present on his work plan, others welcome to
join in.
4. QlikView -- I have made a very quick demo using our inpatient data to
show what I like about the tool. If others have something they can remote
desktop to, or otherwise bring in on a USB, please do so. I'd be interested to
see how people are going to use it or roll it out.
5. CHADx grouper -- the Health Round Table have started producing reports
on complications by CHADx groups
<http://www.health.gov.au/internet/safety/publishing.nsf/Content/PriorityProgram-08_CostHAD>
, yet I can't find any place where there is a grouper for these. I've started
tinkering with building my own -- it would be good to do it in a way that
people can reuse if there is interest.
6. Chat about the old times.
We might not completely address everything: I'm happy to carry some stuff over
and reorder to suit interest.
I had an item for interhospital balances (aka why does my CFO want me to write
a web app for this), but after digging further here it turns out this is being
chased up through a different group as to whether HealthSMART's Oracle team can
build it as a report in Discoverer. Happy to put it back on the agenda if
there's been work done at other sites to help this.
I would also like to point out that the mailing list archives are currently
publicly accessible -- as in they appear on Google. I think I can change this
if people would prefer it to be private.
Kind regards,
William Rose
